Microcirculatory changes in chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) due to venous hypertension produce venous hypertensive microangiopathy (VHM) and lead to ulceration. VHM is characterized by enlarged, convoluted capillaries; increase in flux, permeability, and edema; and altered microlymphatics. PO2 is
